Hi everyone

Due to having a lot of welsh blood in me (despite living in London) I really want a welsh name for my daughter. At the moment I'm leaning towards Meredith. Does anyone have any thoughts, or better suggestions?

Oh and Arwen, a welsh name meaning fair / fine, made famous by the Elf maiden Arwen Undomiel in The Lord of the Rings (Liv Tyler).

Eirwen is lovely (white snow), Delyth (pretty), and Eira (snow). Meredith pronounced in both the Welsh and English manner is beautiful too.

Nia, Nerys, Lowri, Llinos, Gwennan, Non, Rhiannon, Manon, Ceri, Mari, Mair.

Nia being the best of course

I love Meredith, it's a beautiful name and is unusual enough for there not to be lots of them, but common enough that people know how to spell it!

I would love a welsh name too. Finding it hard to get a more modern one. Bethan is the closest I've come but still not sure on it.

Other names - Bethan, Elin, Megan, Alow, Alys, Heledd, Cerys, Carys, Enfys (rainbow), Arianwen, Anwen, Gwen, Sioned.

Seren means star
Cariad means darling

or there's Carys, Ceri, Cerys, Myfanwy, Rhihannon, Rhian, Angharad, Anwen, Ffion, Menna, Merrion, Ceinwen (pronounced Kine-wen), Gwenllian, Gwen, Eleri.

I must say Meredith sounds very English to me, despite its Welsh origins. maybe it's the anglicised spelling.

Congratulations by the way!
